Former Chelsea winger Florent Malouda has criticised Chelsea's sale of Kai Havertz, comparing his departure to the exits of Kevin De Bruyne and Mohamed Salah.
Havertz has joined Mikel Arteta's Arsenal project in an initial £65million deal, with the 24-year-old making his departure following a mixed three-year spell at Stamford Bridge. The Gunners' spending is set to continue, with a move to sign Declan Rice expected to be confirmed - another former Chelsea player who slipped through the net.
Malouda, who won the Premier League and Champions League at Chelsea, has criticised the club's decision to sell Havertz, 24. Chelsea paid £75.8m to sign then 21-year-old Havertz from Bayer Leverkusen in the summer of 2020, making a loss on a player who had two years left on his contract.
